In the first round of the match between the two sides, Manchester City not only won, but also scored three away goals.
In the era when the away goal rule has not been abolished, this means that if Paris Saint-Germain wants to advance, it must score more than three goals away from home, and at least two goals are needed.
A score of 2:0 will also be eliminated.
They have no choice but to attack with all their strength.
The players of Paris Saint-Germain must fight with their backs against the wall.
Paris has no desire in the league because they are destined to be the champion.
Only by going further in the Champions League can they prove themselves.
And the fans of Paris Saint-Germain are of course full of expectations for this game.
Not to mention falling behind by two goals, even if they are behind by three or four goals, they still believe that a miracle will come.
But the player known as the "Miracle Birth" is in Manchester City, not in Paris Saint-Germain.
Because Zhao Yi chose to join a strong team like Manchester City after coming to the Premier League, the title of "Miracle Birth" has not been mentioned for a long time.
Manchester City has not needed a miracle to save it for a long time.
"This game is very difficult for Paris Saint-Germain.
In the first round of the two sides, the two flanks of Paris Saint-Germain became Zhao Yi's Silk Road.
Aurier and Maxwell were like recruits in front of Zhao Yi.
Manchester City fans now like to call Zhao Yi an instructor.
It is because he faces Paris's defensive players, just like an instructor training recruits, and he can play however he wants.
We can even see some banners in the Manchester City stands through the broadcast camera...
It is not friendly to Paris Saint-Germain players.
This kind of banner usually does not appear at the home of Etihad. The reason for this is probably because Manchester City fans believe that Zhao Yi was investigated by the anti-doping organization because of the report of Paris senior management.
Paris senior management has never admitted this. thing.
But Manchester City fans obviously don't believe it.
In this game, Verratti is still absent from Paris due to injury, which is indeed a big blow to Paris' midfield defense.
If it is the French Ligue 1, Verratti's absence will not be seen.
But in the Champions League, it can be clearly felt that Verratti is really too important.
Paris coach Blanc made adjustments to the lineup for this game.
A three-four-three formation was arranged.
It seems that they are really ready to give it a try.
The front trident is still Di Maria, Ibrahimovic, and Cavani.
Midfielders Rabiot, Motta, Van der Wiel, and Matuidi.
Three central defenders Marquinhos, David Luiz, and Diego Silva.
Goalkeeper Trapp.
The three-center-back system is difficult for the two wingbacks. The requirements are very high.
It plays a very critical role on both offense and defense.
Not only does it need to assist, but it also needs to be in position to defend in the first place.
This formation will quickly form a numerical advantage when attacking, and it is also easy to make mistakes on the defensive end. Once the opponent seizes the gaps on the two sides, the back line will be very passive and dangerous.
Obviously, Blanco came to Etihad with the idea of dying if he fails.
In fact, Paris Saint-Germain does need this kind of courage to fight to the death. In the first round, Paris Saint-Germain's style of play obviously could not defeat Manchester City.
This away game, Blanco took the initiative to change the formation, hoping to achieve some results.
For Manchester City, after they won the Premier League title in advance last week, Guardiola did not rotate the lineup.
For this game In the game, Manchester City did not relax at all.
The traditional 4231 formation.
Aguero is still in the front, and behind him are De Bruyne, David Silva, and Sterling on both sides.
The positions of Sterling and Aguero have basically not changed, while the positions of De Bruyne, Silva, and Zhao Yi are often replaced.
Guardiola once made it clear in an interview that he hopes to see different performances from Zhao Yi and De Bruyne.
Now De Bruyne is placed in the middle position, which is the traditional No. 10 position.
We can see how De Bruyne performs and whether he can play out the different performances Guardiola said.
Fernandinho and Zhao Yi are the double defensive midfielders.
Zhao Yi's performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the first round was indeed surprising.
This season, he has shown an extraordinary offensive talent, and in the last round of confrontation, Zhao Yi not only completed his offensive tasks well, but also showed an incredible defensive level.
His defense against Di Maria and Rabio is impressive.
In this game, he played in the defensive midfielder position. Guardiola should have made special arrangements for him.
On the defensive line, Clichy, Kompany, Stones, Sagna.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart. ”As soon as the players of Paris Saint-Germain came on the field, they received special care from Manchester City fans.
The boos made them feel a lot of pressure.
Manchester City fans nowadays rarely boo visiting teams.
This time, because Paris Saint-Germain reported Zhao Yi, Manchester City fans were very angry.
They couldn't beat the team, so they used such a despicable method.
This is simply an insult to football.
The players of Paris Saint-Germain suffered an unprovoked disaster, and it was not reported by them.
But Manchester City fans didn't care about that.
They booed with all their strength, and some fans held up banners.
The words "despicable", "disgusting", and "clown" were written.
"Go back!"
"Open your hands!!"
"Surrender and lose half!"
"French clowns, let us see your armpits!"
"You don't deserve to be in the same room with England and China!"
"Waste!"
"Surrender if you fight, report if you lose, I am France!"
"Break your dog legs!!!"
Manchester City fans not only shouted in English, but also those who were proficient in French in the stands, and even Portuguese-speaking fans shouted loudly, fearing that the players of Paris Saint-Germain would not understand.
The atmosphere was extremely hot throughout the scene.
As the referee's whistle sounded, Manchester City picked the side and Paris Saint-Germain had the ball.
Paris Saint-Germain did not press forward in a big way at the beginning, but controlled the ball, observed the positioning of Manchester City players, and tried to find offensive opportunities.
Manchester City was less anxious because they were two goals ahead in the first round.
The positioning was very stable.
Soon, Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack through the wing.
The ball appeared on the left, and Rabiot and Di Maria had good breakthrough and assist abilities.
However, they did not find a good opportunity.
The ball kept rotating under the feet of Paris Saint-Germain players, and it was difficult for Ibrahimovic to run out of position.
The ball could only be turned around outside the penalty area.
When Rabiot and Motta cooperated and tried to transfer the ball to the middle, Zhao Yi suddenly started and cooperated with Sterling who retreated from the front to surround Rabiot.
Rabiot quickly adjusted his posture and did not dare to pass the ball to Motta, but turned to look for Di Maria.
Seeing this, Sagna quickly ran to Rabiot's passing route, making it impossible for him to complete the pass.
The moment Rabiot hesitated, the ball was cut off by Zhao Yi.
In the Etihad stands, a loud call sounded instantly.
"Rabiot!!!"
Rabiot was stunned for a moment. He actually received so many fans' shouts in the away game? ?
"Here!!!"
Overwhelming responses came from the other side of the stands.
"Rabiot!!!"
"Here!!!!"
The sound enveloped the entire stadium, and Rabiot's face turned black.
"Hahahaha..." Manchester City's commentator couldn't help it.
"Private...
Rabiot...
Get out of the line!!!"
"Here!!!!"
Manchester City's substitutes covered their faces, and Otamendi was almost laughing off his seat.
Guardiola scratched his big bald head. Originally, only organized fans were shouting, but after two times, the fans in the entire stadium joined in.
Etihad suddenly became a sea of joy.
After the shouting, the fans gave warm applause.
The faces of the players of Paris Saint-Germain were not very good.
It is foreseeable that as long as Paris players make mistakes, they will be ridiculed by the fans in the stadium.
